Revolution Media Presentation Viewable on Web?

[Pierre Sahores]

Dear Peter and All,

I would'nt be too negative but two Rebol geeks of my friends could  
explain lots about the Rebol IE plug-in (Olivier Auverlot, the writer  
of the french's Eyrolles Rebol programmers reference book, and  
François Jouen of the "Ecole Pratiques de Hautes-Etudes" institute).  
In short, this plug-in is probably not dedicated to be used as a  
professional grade tool.

Best,
